I have spent much of my life working with children of all ages, which led me to becoming a teacher. I am a Wood River High School Alumni and moved home to give back to a community that helped to shape who I am today. I attended Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah from 2011-2015, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education (K-8), as well as my Visual Arts K-12 Endorsement. I graduated from Western Governors University in 2023 with a Masters of Education in Instructional Design. In 2024, I added a Middle Levels Mathematics (5-9) Endorsement. I have taught 6th-8th grade mathematics, 7th grade science, 5th grade, and high school mathematics. I am elementary trained, student taught 4th grade, and am extremely excited to be working with 4th graders again! In addition to teaching, I have a passion for coaching and am the WRHS Girls' Varsity Soccer Coach. In the past, I have also coached hockey, lacrosse, and taught ballet. I love to incorporate games and the arts into student learning experiences, as well as get outside and enjoy nature while we learn. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter, skiing, running, mountain biking, camping, hunting, and arts and crafts.
